While the proportion of all family physicians (FPs) delivering babies has declined, the proportion of early career FPs delivering babies declined at a much slower rate between 2016 and 2023 from 13.1% to 10.2%, and the proportion providing maternity care over this period has slightly increased from 25.0% to 28.9%. As maternal mortality rises, supporting FPs in maternity care is crucial for workforce sustainability and health equity.
